Can't say I blame you. Although it would probably make for a "memorable" experience
to talk about later ....
More people are doing it today than ever before !

Aww-Ma-an! Although I doubt there are many that can blame you given the weather this year! I sure wish I could go. But I am beginning to think it will never happen.

yeah...the misery index would be a bit too high for me too.

Too bad...I was looking forward to checking out your rig.

I have found that I can dress to stay warm driving below 40*, but I have so many cloths on I don't enjoy the experience. Down to 40* a heavy coat, wool cap, and, most important, a sock scarf for the neck pulled up over the nose. This keeps me warm and allows for movement.

Lots of people ski in bitter cold, I stay inside.

Spring starts today, we will hit 70*! I am ready.
Technology, the solution to all of our problems... and the cause of most of them.
